I thought it over twice.

If the set_duty_ns(), set_period_ns() and set_enable() are transfered to the
core, I'll have to link the device and pwm_chip :
 - expand pwmadd_chip() : should be expanded with the "struct device_d *dev"
parameter
 - provide a way to link *dev with *pwm_chip
   => either store device_d pointer into pwm_device structure, and go through the
   list of all PWMs at each set_X() calls
   => or use dev->priv (bad idea since the driver, ie. pxa_pwm wants to do that)

This way, calling set_X(struct device_d *dev, ...) will find pwm_chip pointer
from dev, and call the approriate pwm_config(), ...

So it's a bit more that adding duty_ns and period_ns to struct pwm_chip. Is this
what you want ?

Cheers.
